The selection of the present information system project is difficult because of the many factors that influence it. Information system project should pay attention to the user acceptance, technology and the environment in terms of their influence on the information system project selection. The purpose…

In the last decade, major advances have been achieved in the treatment of rectal cancer. Results of randomized controlled trials have led to the introduction of total mesorectal excision and preoperative (chemo) radiotherapy as a standard multimodal treatment approach. By combining these different treatment modalities,…

The perception of organizational injustice may trigger off a questioning of the trust established between both partners (employer and employee), which may cause a breach of the psychological contract and encourage the emergence of problems within the organization (doubt, mistrust, antisocial behavior, etc.). We support…

We report the case of 3 mediastinal  teratomas, 1 intrapericardial immature and 2 mediastinal grade 0,  diagnosed in the 38th week of gestation (intrapericardial immature) in the last stage of pregnancy (mature mediastinal). The surgical resection of the masses was successfully undertaken shortly after birth. The histological description of tumor after excision has reported immature multicystic teratoma Grade 2 of 3, with immature neural tissue and without yolk sac tumor cells (for the intrapericardial case) and mature tissue grade 0 large masses, with all tissues represented at histology (for the extrapericardial…

This study aims to launch an e-health application to help motivate academics’ active participation in health-promoting activities. It is an on-going project about understanding and enhancing academics’ involvement in health-related activities. An Internet-based platform coined as Preparing Academics’ Health for Tomorrow’s Education (PAHTE) was designed…

This paper draws attention to the discourses surrounding the use of mobile smartphones for protesting (M-Protesting) in Jamaica. More specifically, it presents the findings of a qualitative descriptive research project which utilized a fusion of the case study and discourse analysis methodology to illustrate how…

This paper provides a framework for comparison between the in-house implementation of ERP systems versus the in-cloud implementations. The paper first establishes a framework for the comparison based on three factors: pre-live, i.e., the implementation methodologies of both options; post-live, i.e., cost, time and the…

The novelty in this research stems from coupling the satisfaction and impact of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) success with different user categories and not just one model that fits all users. Based on the DeLone and MacLean model of ERP success (1992), several models are…

For over a decade, ERP systems in Morocco have shown a significant increase. Companies make large investments in these scale systems in order to anticipate positive impacts on their organization. Measuring ERP systems success becomes an important criterion for the stakeholders in justifying the associated…

Although improvements in basic computer graphics rendering hardware and lighting algorithms have produced some remarkable results, it is still computationally demanding to render a highly realistic Virtual Environment (VE) in real-time. This paper presents a real-time synthetic lighting system incorporating sophisticated global illumination algorithms aiming…
